Bio:

One Unique Thing:

Xyrux still carries the ashes of his ex boyfriend, Nathaniel Daniel, in a can. The ex boyfriend was with him at the exact time of the apocalypse, although they were separated already at that time. Xyrux survived; the ex didnt. For a few days, in a ruined building that was once a restaurant, Xyrux was just huddled in a corner & hugging his ex’ corps until the reality of the latter’s death finally dawned upon him. Xyrux was then able to find everything needed to build a funeral pyre for the ex lover’s corpse. And so he proceeded to cremate the ex lover’s corpse & the ash left behind he proceeded to stuff into a can which he carries around with him to this day. At times his comcompanions overhear him talking to the can of ash as if it was still his ex lover still alive & interacting with him.

Interacting with the ashes of his ex lover can enable xyrux at times to come up with selected information that is suprisingly accurate, factual, as if the ex bf was actually present at the time he asks the question. This enables xyrux to gain relevant information as if a skill check was made to gain information into the following areas ( only ): business ( business procedures, investment strategies, corporate structures, bureaucratic procedures and how to navigate them, bartering ), current events (recent happenings in the news, sports, politics, entertainment, foreign affairs), popular culture ( popular music & personalities, genre films &:books, urban legends, comics, science fiction, and gaming, among others ), streetwise ( street & urban culture, local underworld personalities & events ), technology (current developments in cutting-edge devices, as well as the background necessary to identify various technological devices.
